OK pressure is on I have to have the DR ready for a shake down ride week before the Cameron’s ride just in case the big ends up going to the corner
So I stripped it bare, forks and shock out and off for an upgrade. I carried out a valve adjustment (how to here)
I replaced the headset bearings, fitted bar risers, new bars, grips, Biketique Barkbusters, frame guards, a full staintune system, a 19litre IMS tank, new foot pegs, stripped and greased the suspension linkages and stripped the wheels for new tyres.Parts and more parts like Christmas :laugh:
Pillow tops, glued and wired
Larger hand guards
Staintune header
Frame guard and new foot peg
Fat bars, grips and new tank
IMS Tank
Bling Staintune
Braided Goodridge line to be fitted
Other frame guard and peg
B&B bash plate to be fitted
I should have the suspension, wheels and the remaining parts this week, including peg lower kit, screen, and more Vince Strang bits and pieces

I wonder if its had an engine change or two like the KTM’s, CRF450’s and Burg in front of it. The KTM CPW team has done well and I think will get the outright and 3 class wins which is a great and a deserving reward for the effort they have put in to run such a large and professional team. Grabbo didnt have a safari ride after KTM said they werent running a factory team again this year. CPW-Safari offer a variety of options for those intending to enter the Safari. Based in Perth, WA they offer 3 levels of support:
1. Basic logistics
2. Mechanical support/logistics/Consumables
3. KTM Rental bikes including mechanical/logistics/consumables/tyre packages.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVOycothbdM&feature=player_embedded#!
Craig Lowndes won the cars in his first attempt which is amazing and has dedicated the win to Peter Brock See story here

What a great ride, it was terrific to see so many newbies. Crash turned up at my place and we hooked up the trailer and rocked down to Macca’s where Owl 02 and GJ400 were waiting. Then came the phone call we knew would happen, yes Factoryphil was running late :laugh: :laugh: no surprise there
So we left and drove out to Hampton pub where we waited for factory. Once grouped up we drove up to Rob’s crib. What an awesome weekender, sorry not as flash as the Owl setup but a ripper in itself. Intros done Owl 02 cooked up bacon and blue eggs ripper 2 of them puppies hit the spot I fitted Crash up with his new Astrisk knee braces (cheers on the great price Jay at Sutto’s)Suited up and with Factory in the sweep vest we got under way, straight down the road and into the forest just past Ballards compound. First hill I knew would be a tester and it didnt disappoint :laugh: :laugh: Sorry guys but we needed to go that way and it wasnt that bad really :blink: Down and through the bog hole and into the pine forest. I took the guys to a rutted, whooped out single that I know has been used as a training track for some of the blue brigade guns. It was hard work and pretty demanding, it got the blood pumping and Factory’s new kato boiling with the slow going :blink: :huh: Is it just me or are the new KTM’s the first bike to boil in a group??
We grouped up after 15mins or so of the tight singles, King Crash swung into action and was seen adjusting peoples tyre pressures etc. We jumped across the Jenolan Caves rd and used some of the tracks used on the Caves to Caves ride but without a river running down them this time :laugh: We traveled deeper down the Cox’s river side and used a couple of the tracks used on Dr D’s Hampton last year. It was here the Rob’s mate who’s name slips me (sorry :blush: ) on his kato 525 performed a flip into a tree from a standing start :huh: :laugh:
Not to be out done shortly after Rob had a huge get off on the BRP, being a good 3rd gear cartwheel that left him and the BRP looking like they had been ridden hard and rolled up wet :laugh: Factory the super trainee sweep struggled to get the BRP going while Rob rolled it off (as opposed to walking it off :laugh: ) With everyone ready we retraced a few tracks as they had been so good. During a short transport on a rough little dirt tracks Rob’s mate (sorry again :blush: ) on the Kato went bush while having a little run with Rob I think. He was in the scrub a way, so far actually a few of the boys rode past not seeing him :blink: The kato was fairly tuned up the front mudguard was busted off and the sub frame was bent.Rob and his mate decided to limp the Kato and Rob home where we would meet them later. We continued through some singles some slippery some dusty and then ran back to the Oberon turn off. I lead the boys out to a big hill climb we have done a couple of times over the years, only 4 of us elected to do it. I went onto reserve so we started heading back, where we came across the bog hole from the Caves to Caves ride

Shortly after CJ400 had a lay down again :laugh: and we went to the pub had a good feed and a Bundy or Beer
From there we rode back to Rob’s with Factory ripping off 120kph wheel stands :cheer: :cheer:
Once at Robs we loaded the bikes got changed and sat and had more beers and rums before the drive homeIt was great having Factoryphil along for his first OBT ride, Factory and I have been mates for years now and he is one of the funniest blokes I know and can ride
Crash cheers mate, Rob thanks for letting us use the crib and all the newbies it was great meeting and I look forward to doing it all again soon.

WE are old news now, Hadley gave us a bit of a spray yesterday but nothing today. WE are now working on another way to jerk his chain so he’ll get stuck into us again. It is doing wonders for paper sales and advertiser enquiries. :laugh:
Not to mention you guys sitting there lying low, I know you rang me remember :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
No such thing as bad advertising or a million dollar surf club for a country town in the bush
